Finished SPARE
Saturday, February 8, 2025
Finshed 50 more Pages of WAR AND PEACE and started SPARE
I have now starte Spare by Prince Harry. I don't know what I was expecting--poor little rich kid, maybe. His life is very different from any experience I have had. Sometimes, especially when driving alone at night, I relish my anonymity. No one knows who I am on the road. If I sleep in a rest area, no one would dream I am a woman alone. I wonder if I may have been famous in a former life...just because I so dearly love my anonymity. We all know what happened to Harry's mother and have heard things about the British press. But the being hounded from early childhood...well, that is obtuse. The book is well written and very readable.

Finished THE WATER DANCER
What a beautiful book! Though often unsettling, I find myself at the end, satisfied and at peace.
Now, once again, I turn to Melinda's life in the hamlet of Prosper. As autumn approaches again (September now) Hobo (her dog) is winning a hero award for saving her farm and several others by warning her of a fire. Looking forward to another peaceful read.

Finished KINGDOM OF BONES
I am now about to start The Water Dancer, set in this country during slavery, a subject I return to again and again. The book has great reviews.

Finished QUITE A YEAR FOR PLUMS
I am not at all sure how this got into my "to read" pile. It reads like Garrison Keeler, who I found boring and this the same. I do like quirky characters but I also like something to happen in the books I read. I read it all the wait through thinking these characters must do something, but I was disappointed..
I'm now about to start James Rollins' Kingdon of Bones. I don't quite believe I have read 15 of these Sigma Force books. Time flies while you are having fun. I know something will happen in this book!
Finished THE ENCHANTMENT EMPORIUM
